A month later, it was the New Year of the Tang Dynasty.

In the twelve years of Tianbao, Gu Qing first arrived in Anxi. In a year, he not only gained a foothold in Anxi, but also established his authority. Now, Gu Qing has a legitimate identity, and the real power in his hands is the real master of Anxi.

At the beginning of New Year's Day, the thirteenth year of Tianbao arrived quietly.

Lights were decorated in the small town on the border, and the poles were thrown into the fire to make crackling sounds. People were beating gongs and drums and drums were full of energy, and the newly built market was even more crowded. The people happily took out their savings for the whole year and bought New Year's goods at the market.

Kucha City is a small city where Hu and Han live together. About one-third of the population in the city are Hu people. Most Han people migrated from Yumen Pass and have lived in Kucha City for two or three generations.

Although they moved to the border, the customs of the Han people were still preserved. Every New Year, the Han people in the city would celebrate like they were in the pass, buying New Year's goods, making lanterns, worshiping ancestors, etc., which was no different from those in the pass.

But every New Year's Day, the Hu people in the city feel a little embarrassed.

The Hu people are just the New Year. The Hu people who live in the city are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even if the Han people live poorly, their eyes are always discriminatory, mixed bloodlines, and without being transformed into a king, in the eyes of the Han people, they are mixed blood and barbarians, and are symbols of lowliness. Even if the Hu people have rich family property, they still have no confidence in this city dominated by the Han people, and they are guilty everywhere in their silk.

As for the intermarriage between Han and Hu, it is regarded as a traitor in the city. As long as the Han people get married with Hu people, regardless of gender? Whatever the Han people are originally Han people are automatically demoted to Hu people? From then on, they can no longer claim to be Han people. As for what kind of discrimination will the children born? It is obvious.

Gu Qing knew this was reality? But he could not change it, not only Kucha? This kind of discrimination exists in cities within the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty Protectorate.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was so proud that everyone was the people of the Tang Dynasty? Some Hu people also wanted to register for the Tang Dynasty with a shy face? But most of them were cruelly rejected by the government.

The household registration of the Tang Dynasty is not so easy to obtain, unless it is the Hu people who have made military achievements in the Tang Dynasty, or the Guicheng Hu tribe whom Zi specially ordered to appease today, such as the Ashina tribe of the Turkic tribe at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Existence is reasonable? Gu Qing can’t change it? He doesn’t want to change it.

Those who should be despised, continue to be despised.

The Han people were right. Gu Qing observed for many days and found that the Hu people in the city had not been transformed by the king and did not know what loyalty was.           There are often villains who forget their righteousness when doing business. The government received complaints from the people and merchants. Most of them were unjust acts of suing Hu merchants. Many such cases have been dealt with?                                                                                                                                                                                                       

To be honest, Gu Qing doesn’t have a good impression of Hu people? He feels a little repulsive. But he is still quite polite to Hu merchants who are honest.

On the first day of the New Year, Gu Qing gave himself a holiday and took his personal guard to Fuzhi Inn to celebrate the New Year.

Feng Shu and Wei Shen and other fellow villagers also came. Fuzhi Inn is a special session in Shiqiao Village today. Gu Qing was in a good mood and was even more generous and generous when drinking with Feng Shu and Wei Shen and others. He drank the wine until he drank it.

In the evening, the laughter of the people outside the inn celebrated the New Year came, and the hustle and bustle of joy reflected the smiles in the inn, and the wine in the wine glass rippled one after another.

Huangfu Sisi wrapped her head with a headscarf and cooked one excellent dish after another. Her simple dress could not hide her beautiful and unconventional face, like a virtuous wife, who warmly and generously entertained her husband's relatives.

"Gu Qing, I have to say that you did a good job. Fortunately, you didn't stay in Shiqiao Village. You were not a thing in the pool. Staying in that remote mountain village delayed your life. Today, I am very happy to see you stand out..." Feng Shu drank a little too much and kept talking nonsense.

Then Feng Shu, who was blushing, slapped Wei Shen, who was lying on his head to eat and drink, and said angrily: "The bastard only knows how to eat. Look at your brother Gu, and then look at you. The melons that make feces are one ten thousandth of that of your brother Gu, but it is not like this unpromising look now."

Wei Shen covered his head innocently and looked at Gu Qing with a grievance.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "Uncle has drunk too much, don't worry about him. Live a good life, no matter whether it is rich or poor, just live a comfortable and happy life. The word "prosperity" is actually the greatest destruction of life."

Wei Shen curled his lips and said, "You are extremely rich now, so naturally you can speak easily. But I am often beaten and scolded by the elders in the village. Now the elders in the village compare us with you and Brother Song. If you don't meet, you will beat and scold me. After the Shiqiao Village, you and Brother Song are already the ancestors who have accumulated virtue. How can we all become big names?"

Gu Qing patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I drank too much just now, and accidentally poured chicken soup. Let's say this again... Well, you should work harder and learn more from me and Song Gensheng. Work hard will definitely make a fortune. Who doesn't want to live a wealthy life? Tomorrow I will give you a set of books and let the Chinese military officials give you a few sets of test papers. You can do the papers well this New Year, don't go anywhere."

Feng Shu, who had drunk high, was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Very kind! That's how it should be!"

Wei Shen was shocked and looked at Gu Qing in a daze, as if he had seen a devil.

Gu Qing smiled maliciously, feeling that he was too good at chatting.

Huangfu Sisi brought the last dish, and was so busy that her forehead was sweating profusely. She wiped her hands and stood behind Gu Qing.

Feng Shu's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but we are ignorant. We are still bothering the girl in the New Year."

Huangfu Sisi smiled and said, "It's not hard, I'll be happy if the New Year is more lively. If you don't come, this shop will be deserted and it will be uncomfortable to watch."

Feng Shu smiled and said, "Sit down and eat together. Although you and I are not close friends or not, they are all in a foreign land. Especially, you and Gu Qing have a good relationship, so just treat it as your own family and spend the New Year together."

Huangfu Sisi was both happy and ashamed, and lowered her head and pursed her lips and chuckled.

Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "Sit down, you have eaten this meal, don't forget to give a harsh discount when keeping accounts."

Huangfu Sisi gave him a blank look, snorted lightly, and then sat generously beside Gu Qing.

When he poured wine and served the glass, Huangfu Sisi first gave his elders a few drinks, and then drank a few cups with Wei Shen and a few boys. Finally, he served the glass to Gu Qing, and said with affectionate expression: "Mr. Marquis, I wish you good health in the new year and promotion in the next year. The people of the four towns of Anxi have received your kindness."

Gu Qing laughed and raised his glass and said, "I wish you a prosperous business and a successful cure your hand shaking problem."

Huangfu Sisi laughed and threw a look of anger charming look.

Feng Shu looked at the two of them with a smile, and for some reason he suddenly thought of Zhang Huaiyu.

The woman in front of her was full of affection, and she clearly had deep affection for Gu Qing. Although Gu Qing was a marquis and a prince, she was a young man after all. She couldn't help but be unable to control her beauty. It's okay to take this woman as a concubine, but she could not threaten the position of Miss Huaiyu's main wife.

Therefore, I have to send a letter to Chang'an to tell Miss Huaiyu everything here. Regarding Gu Qing's marriage, Shiqiao Village has long identified Huaiyu's wife as the wife of the wife, which is unquestionable.

The banquet was late at night. Feng Shu, who was drunk, was helped back by Wei Shen and several young people. The inn was in a mess and suddenly became deserted.

Gu Qing was also a little drunk. He refused to accept everyone tonight. I don’t remember how many cups he drank. Although it was made from the Western Regions grapes and tasted like juice, the wine was quite strong. Gu Qing was a little confused and sat at the table in a daze without moving.

Huangfu Sisi had a good alcohol tolerance, but at this moment, she didn't know whether she was pretending to be drunk or really drunk. She leaned softly on Gu Qing's shoulder, sipped the cup lightly, and her white and delicate fingers were slightly raised, like a picture of a lady who had passed down from generation to generation.

"Is the Marquis drunk? Can you drink a few more cups with me?" Huangfu Sisi leaned into Gu Qing's ear and exhaled like orchids. Gu Qing's ears were itchy, and she couldn't help but feel restless, like an out-of-control wild horse, releasing her reins and galloping wildly.

"I... can't drink anymore." Gu Qing shook his head, and he would be drunk if he drank again. Han Jie and his personal guards were all guarding outside the inn. What if he got drunk and was bullied by a bad person?

Just as he was about to get up and return to the camp, Huangfu Sisi suddenly held his face with both hands and stared at his eyes affectionately and seriously.

Her appearance was reflected in his eyes, like a reflection in a pool of autumn water, swaying, and the woman was on the side of the water.

"Let me go, I'm a little dizzy and I'm going back." Gu Qing tried hard to make himself clear.

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and said, "Don't move around, you have rice particles on your mouth..."

"Is there any?" Gu Qing subconsciously touched his lips, but Huangfu Sisi held his hand down.

"Mr. Marquis, I will help you clean it up..." Huangfu Sisi's face turned red and she came up with her shy and timidly. Her lips suddenly approached his lips, and her fragrant tongue stretched out, and she swept across his lips like a terrifying robe.

Gu Qing was stunned and had no time to react. Her lips were completely pressed against her lips, and she quickly separated in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, I have helped the Marquis clean up." Huangfu Sisi's face became more and more rosy, and she covered her face and ran into the backyard.

Gu Qing was still sitting at the table blankly, looking shocked, and instantly woke up with a slight sense of alcohol.

Just now...was being molested?

Why is this happening? I can’t defend myself day and night, but I still can’t defend myself and I’ll be taken advantage of myself if I accidentally do it.

I have accumulated two lifetimes, have a good look and a thick patina...

On the way back to the camp, Han Jie walked beside him and carefully supported Gu Qing. Seeing Gu Qing's expression was so sad and angry and his steps were sloppy, Han Jie couldn't help but look at him worriedly.

"What's wrong with the Marquis? I was very happy, why did I feel so sad and angry after the banquet? Did something happen in the inn just now?" Han Jie asked with concern.

Gu Qing ignored him, his mind kept buzzing, and he looked up at the night sky and sighed in a deep sigh.

"Han Jie, I suddenly miss Zhang Huaiyu..." Gu Qing said suddenly.

Han Jie was stunned and said, "Do you want to send someone back to Chang'an and invite Miss Zhang to Anxi?"

Gu Qing shook his head, he was used to long-distance relationships, but...

The desert was desolate under the night, and the noise in the city did not make this desolate scenery cheerful.

Gu Qing suddenly sank the dantian and hissed and roared in front of the empty desert wilderness.
